Why do loving relationships fail? Is it because of poor communication? A lack of empathy? Failure to accommodate each other’s needs? These are all common beliefs, but what if they’re all wrong?

In You Are The One You’ve Been Waiting For, celebrated therapist and bestselling author Dr Richard Schwartz suggests that it is instead because we unknowingly burden our partner with the task of caring for our 'internal family' - the disowned and unloved parts of ourselves.

Building on his revolutionary Internal Family Systems model of therapy, Dr Richard Schwartz provides the essential tools to create healthy and opening communication with your ‘internal family’ and your partner, including showing you how to:

• Spot and challenge beliefs that create shame and distance in relationships
• Transform the way our vulnerable parts shape the way we treat each other
• Turn conflict into a path for personal growth and self-understanding
• Build strong, lasting intimacy with ourselves and our partners

Practical, accessible, and empowering, You Are the One You've Been Waiting For will equip you with the essential tools needed to build trust, strengthen your connection, and deepen your relationship.
